Here’s how she approached doll stroller shopping: “I want the pink and grey one in the store!!!” Yes, thanks to my husband taking my children on an impromptu trip inside a Pottety Barn Kids store, all I heard… Read More

There’s nothing like wrapping a child up in a big, cozy hooded towel after a bath on a cold winter’s night. That’s why hooded bath towels make great holiday gifts. Unfortunately, as my boys have gotten bigger I’ve learned that while hooded towels for infants abound, it’s hard to find them for toddlers and bigger… Read More

Now that I have three kids, it’s even more hectic and I need even more organization in my life. I need… Read More

The one thing I find myself constantly looking for is storage solutions for toys. Not for shoes, not for jewelry, not for my own closet… for toys. Never mind the constant change and rotation of toys we have going on- their interests seem to change every other day- I’m running out of space! Then I… Read More

Spring has sprung and everyone is planning trips. Whether you are traveling for spring break or planning for a summer getaway, the kids will travel with lots and lots of stuff. While I’m hauling all the major gear for the trip, I always make every child carry a bag with their own toys, snacks and… Read More

These adorable preschool backpacks are small to fit your toddlers and preschooler’s perfectly. Even though they are called “preschool backpacks”, they are big enough for a snack, change of clothes or a few toys but not large enough for a standard folder (a prerequisite to many preschools!). We use these fabulous backpacks for our little… Read More

Pottery Barn Kids makes the best wall decals! While other decals don’t stay on the wall after a while and start to peel at the edges, PBK decals are in it for the long haul. I put up the PBK Bugs Decals (which aren’t available anymore) in my kids’ Jack & Jill bathroom three years… Read More
